Fixed up some visclip issues I found recently, also figured out a way to detect if an entity is a nextbot or not without having to go through every single class, since each nextbot is its own class unlike regular entities for whatever reason. Basically any type of nextbot should now function properly when shot by daktek stuff.

Also I added in a cvar, not like anyone wanted that anyway. :p

v11.8
-Fixed another issue in the new visclip function when hitting props not in hitboxes, it should be error free now in all cases
-Recoded DakTek hit detection code to recognize any nextbot npcs with valid hitboxes rather than having only explicit exceptions
-Added cvar for max weight multipliers: "daktek_max_weight_mult", this would allow people to do things like build 300 ton helicopters and whatever on their own servers

EDIT:
Also lowered the sound falloff distance on the handheld guns from the designated gunfire sound value to sounds that you don't actually need ear protection to listen to.

Haven't had any updates in awhile, I've mostly just been optimizing small things as I go, and responding to bugs. I noticed that visclips were acting weird since the last patch and have updated the mod to work with the new syntax for them, so visclipped parts should be ignored again properly.

I also added the dakbots back in since someone requested those.

v11.7
-Updated visclip functions to function properly with current gmod version
-minor optimizations
-readded dakbots with improved pathfinding, movement, and crouching

In this patch I've added in a system that causes damage to structure when projectiles pass through damaged components, this way players aren't immortal if they just have a tiny engine in a small section of their mech. I've also finished the torso controller and its now official.

This patch also brings a new system that I've created that allows me to transfer fully functional mech dupes to any player who has the mod rather than them having to manually find and download dupe files, seeing as workshop doesn't work with parented props. You will need to have advanced duplicator 2 to spawn these dupes, it can also be found on workshop.

When players load up the game they should find a new folder named DakTek Public Dupes in their dupes folder that contains the mechs. The mech dupes will be overwriten with each load and refreshed to avoid people losing them and so that I can maintain and update them as needed. If you edit one and wish to save it, please use a different folder to avoid losing your progress.

v11.6
-Finished Torso Controller, it no longer requires torso and chip angles to be the same, doesn't create client errors that I know of, and has had its speed finalized.
-Fixed bug in prox projectiles that would cause them to stack overflow when hitting certain map entities
-Projectiles going through destroyed components now causes structure damage, this only happens once per shell, so multiple passes through each prop of a destroyed section does not stack up damage against you
-Added a dupe distribution system so that the mod comes with a set of prebuilt mechs that can be accessed through advanced duplicator 2

I just realized that in the last patch I let an extra entity slip through that I hadn't yet documented but had finished for the most part aside from preliminary beta testing.

Anyway, the entity can be found in the spawner now as a Torso Controller. It works to replace the torso e2s of the past. You just put it onto your mech's torso with the arrow pointing forward and wire it up. It is editable like the Gyro, so you open C menu to edit its properties and you can set the pitch and yaw limits of your mech. Speed is determined by the speed of the mech.

No additional hotfixes are required at this time. Be sure to report any bugs found when using the new entity, if there are any.

This patch has been somewhat delayed while waiting on further optimizations, but due to realizing how much longer those optimizations could take to be finished I've decided to release what is currently done.

This patch comes with optimizations to things such as RACs, LBX, and machine guns having their shells turned into simulated projectiles, which should greatly reduce the lag of their projectiles and allow people to boat multiple RACs on one mech without slowing the server (within reason please).

I've also added multilink capability to the linker tool so you can just select all your guns at once then right click on the engine. Works with modules and stuff too.

Lastly I've finally managed to fix that issue where having the gyroscope and hip be at different angles would cause problems with the mech. Now the hip angle should be completely disregarded as I had intended it to be, the gyro will be what determines the angles of the mech.

v11.5
-Converted the shells of rapid fire weaponry to simulated shell traces, reducing lag greatly
-Added multilinking functionality to the linker and a chat feedback toggle
-Fixed the long standing bug where the gyroscope angle had to be the same as the hip angle or it would spaz
